Jets will host Dolphins in NFL’s first Black Friday game

When the Jets acquired Aaron Rodgers in a trade with the Packers last month, one of the talking points was that the Jets were likely to be playing a lot more nationally televised games this year than they’ve played in recent seasons.

On Wednesday, we learned that they’ll be hosting one of the high profile games on this year’s schedule. The NFL is playing a game on Black Friday for the first time this year and it will feature the Jets hosting the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium.

The Friday, November 24 game will be played at 3 p.m. ET and it will be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.

Rodgers spent some time with the Dolphins during the holiday season in 2022 as well. He led the Packers to a win in Miami on Christmas Day in a game that also saw Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffer a season-ending concussion.

  1. Expect to see AR featured in every primetime game on the schedule. Don’t worry about it they will start flexing other teams to prime time when the Jets hit 3-7.

  2. A day where there’s typically no NFL football and it’s not on regular TV anyway? I look forward to forgetting that this game is happening.

  3. Can’t wait to see which college game is on because no chance paying Amazon a dime for some crappy streaming product. People are not going to pay Amazon to watch football.

  4. March 2028:

    Don’t miss next week’s March Mayhem Tuesday Night Football, as the 9-13 Texans meet the 12-11 Jags, live from beautiful Honduras!

  5. A large majority of fans would prefer if all games were played on Sunday with one Monday night game. Thursday games during thanksgiving is a great tradition, every other Thursday game is forced and a watered down product that also risks player safety. Friday 2pm game? Keep the money grabs coming.

  6. love the 3-7 comment. Team was 6-4 through 10 games last year with ZW @ QB. Had Hall not gotten hurt, had AVT and other OL not gotten hurt, and had a ridiculous roughing call not been made negating an 85 yard pick 6, even with ZW the Jets were making the playoffs.

  7. NFL dipping their toe in the validity of their Anti-Trust exemption? Careful! Things could get hot.

  8. I can has foosball on Thurs, FRI, SAT, SUN and MON that week? please and thank you.

    People saying oh yeah everyone will be out shopping, no they will not, lots of people hate leaving the house on black fri and amazon does big numbers shopping wise so its a win win for a lot of people. slap some samiches together, open up a big bottle of wine and watch the phins run rough shod over aa-ron.

  9. I think this is Week 12. It seems very risky to put two teams that are only expected to be good in a big spot this late in the year. There is a good chance that one or both teams are terrible and this game is a complete dud. You’d think they would want two teams that we know will be good for this big of a spot. Having flashbacks to Denver being on every week for a while last season.

  10. Maybe I am in the minority, but do NFL fans really want to see the influx of prime time games from a mediocre 3rd best team in their own division as the Jets are?

  11. Commenters all sweating the Jets, rightfully so. Rodgers Revenge Tour is coming soon to a NFL city near you!

    If it weren’t for a few calls here and there, an injury or two and a better player or two, more than one team could’ve gone 20-0 last year.

  14. It will be interesting to see if the NFL is into the Black Friday holiday spirit and offers steep discounts on tickets, parking and concession or if this is just another blatant money grab.

  15. The stadium is literally next door to a gigantic shopping mall. They share parking. Have fun in traffic and avoid Route 3 that day. Brilliant planning from the folks who gave us a 3 hour wait for trains after NJ Super Bowl.

  16. Streaming NFL on Amazon always always always is poor. It’s so poor you can’t actually watch the game. It’s only the NFL games though, no issues watching other content.

  17. “People are not going to pay Amazon to watch football.” Of course they will!

  18. It amazes me that so many here think people will be “out shopping” on Black Friday. Do people actually still do that? We haven’t left the house for Black Friday in ten years. You get the same or better deals online and don’t have to fight traffic, parking, and crowds. Being “out shopping” won’t impact this game’s viewership whatsoever.

  19. The Jets have already emptied their coffers and will have no money left to spend on Black Friday, so why not?

  20. So we can only watch it on Prime? Sorry, not giving my money to Bezos.
    ===========

    he’s not concerned.

    You probably get 15 packages a week like the rest of us.

  21. Expect this game to be flexed since both teams still stink! 😂😂😂

  22. I can’t say I like this. Friday night is for college football. It makes more sense to play the games on Sunday and Monday rather than Thursdays and Fridays.

  23. sadly Rodgers will have quit on the team by then so it won’t be very entertaining

  24. Packer nation will have moved on from Rodgers and will be too busy watching Love’s highlight reels by then to even care.

  25. People saying Rodgers is now motivated for his revenge tour. So he tanked last year, took the Packers $60M , complained he was cancelled, lied about vaccines, and showed up in August

  26. Stupid idea, careless game…..won’t bother me not seeing this one.

  27. So they decided the very first Black Friday game happening on the busiest shopping day of the year should occur in a stadium that is adjacent to the second largest mall in America, within the most densely populated County of the most densely populated State of the country which is situated just 10 miles from the largest City in the world

  28. So this game will not be on TV ? It will be Amazon exclusive ? I might just drop the NFL if they are gonna do more Amazon exclusive games

  29. @kemp13 I wont I will give up the NFL entirelu if the NFL goes streaming exclusive which is looking likely

  30. So this game will not be on TV ? It will be Amazon exclusive ? I might just drop the NFL if they are gonna do more Amazon exclusive games

    We thought we lost you with the kneelers….

  31. I can’t say I like this. Friday night is for college football.
    ===========

    Remember when the NCAA respected high school football, and wouldn’t play Friday games?

  32. Outside of Miami and divisional teams watching the Dolphins is towards the bottom of the list nationally of teams to watch.

  33. I’d give up NFL before paying for any streaming of games. Already did for EPL. I watch a few games that are on broadcast, but not as much. And my time to do other things, things that actually accomplishes stuff around the house and life are better for it.

  34. I know the NFL is totally milking these games as much as possible to boost revenue but I don’t care.

    Fall Season is Football season and I love it- especially over the holidays.

  35. “Remember when the NCAA respected high school football, and wouldn’t play Friday games?” I’d much rather watch high school and college football on Fridays than NFL. This league destroyed itself years ago. Don’t care how many people still watch.

  36. A couple AFC East bottom feeders with no flex option. Wonderful…

  37. I’d much rather watch high school and college football on Fridays than NFL.
    ============

    I’m enjoying the view as college football destroys itself.

    Its like watching the Sack of Rome.

    I do hope they can salvage basketball and March Madness. Outside of that, burn baby, burn.

  38. “I’d give up NFL before paying for any streaming of games. Already did for EPL. I watch a few games that are on broadcast, but not as much. And my time to do other things, things that actually accomplishes stuff around the house and life are better for it.”

    Yes, it frees up more of your time to click on NFL offseason stories.

  39. A few times a year the Wife’s Amazon shopping addiction pays off for me .
